It’s terrible the sacrifices these athletes go through for our entertainment. Football’s basically a blood sport, at the end of the day. We like to think the players go in with eyes wide open to the risks, but then there’s insidious shit like CTE that sneaks in, undiagnosed. It’s hard to see this continuing in the same way long-term, unfortunately. At least now there’s more awareness and work being done to mitigate the risks. I hope they can at least guarantee a better quality of life post-career sometime soon.
